CN REPORTS NEW MONTHLY RECORD FOR PROPANE SHIPMENTS TO WATSON ISLAND
Canadian National Railway Company's propane export shipments from South Beamer, Alberta, to Watson Island, British Columbia, reached an all-time monthly record for the corridor in May, while staying within the existing commercial arrangements.
The achievement represents an increase in carloads of 40 per cent compared with May, 2025, and beating CN's previous monthly record from August, 2024, reflecting continued operational improvements across the supply chain. CN's record-setting performance was supported by train length optimizations, enhanced network efficiency and strong execution across the corridor, enabling greater volumes of product to move reliably to the West Coast.
CN's focus on service consistency and asset utilization continues to create additional capacity to support customer growth opportunities. As demand for Canadian propane exports remains strong, CN remains committed to working closely with Pembina and supply chain partners to provide safe, efficient and reliable transportation solutions.
